This project is mostly related to technology research and development.

Optimization of Internal Cell Architecture$338Kvalue2020start2022end

This project will focus on a key component of e-Zn’s technology: the internal design of the power cell. The R&D effort will involve developing internal materials, architecture and processing methods, designing methodologies to evaluate performance, and conducting a thorough testing program. The key outcome will be the development of an optimized cell that meet the needs of e-Zn’s commercial product, and has a repeatable manufacturing process.

Developing manufacturing processes for the E-Zn Reactor$275Kvalue2017start2019end

This project aims to develop the cost effective methods and processes suitable for manufacturing the various parts and components suitable for the production volume required for early market rollout.

Youth Hire for Air Cathode Catalyst Development$35.0Kvalue2021start2022end

This project will investigate the use of commercially available and novel catalytically active materials in air cathodes for metal-air batteries.

Intern for Air Cathode Development$20.0Kvalue2018start2019end

Air cathode is a key component of e-Zn's energy storage technology. It is also the only component that cannot be obtained in the open market currently; we have been source it through another metal-air developer. In order to secure air cathode supply, we want to explore the possibility of establishing our own cathode making capability. T his project aims to 1) to assess the possibility and and the issues of making air cathode in house, 2) to see if we can make prototype air cathode with properties close to those obtained from our supplier.
